Wisdom from Madeleine Delbrêl

 
 
 

God determined our body in advance in order to make his grace dwell in it. He does not ignore any weakness, any compromising behavior, any deviation, but he chose it to make of it the body of a saint. We have the body for our destiny, the body for our holiness.

—Madeleine Delbrêl

from her book, The Dazzling Light of God: A Madeleine Delbrêl Reader

JOY IN THE ORDINARY

Gathered in this book are buds of wisdom from across the writings of Madeleine Delbrêl, who believed that Christian joy is possible—indeed necessary—in the bleakest settings. God can never abandon the world he loves. Delbrêl’s luminous reflections on Christ, man, and everyday life tap into the depths of divine mystery yet shine with the simplicity of a child.
